5 Ezekiel 29: the word of the Lord came to me saying, 18 Son of man, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon made his army labour hard against Tyre; every head was made bald and every shoulder was rubbed bare. But he and his army had no wages from Tyre for the labour that he had performed against it. 19 Therefore thus says the Lord God, Behold, I will give the land of Egypt to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon. And he will carry off her wealth and capture her spoil and seize her plunder; and it will be wages for his army. 20 I have given him the land of Egypt for his labour which he performed, because they acted for Me, declares the Lord God.

6 Jeremiah 43:8-12 Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah in Tahpanhes, saying, 9 Take some large stones in your hands and hide them in the mortar in the brick terrace which is at the entrance of Pharaoh s palace in Tahpanhes, in the sight of some of the Jews; 10 and say to them, Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, Behold, I am going to send and get Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, My servant, and I am going to set his throne right over these stones that I have hidden; and he will spread his canopy over them. 11 He will also come and strike the land of Egypt; those who are meant for death will be given over to death, and those for captivity to captivity, and those for the sword to the sword. 12 And I shall set fire to the temples of the gods of Egypt, and he will burn them and take them captive. So he will wrap himself with the land of Egypt as a shepherd wraps himself with his garment, and he will depart from there safely.

7 Jeremiah 44:27-30 Behold, I am watching over them for harm and not for good, and all the men of Judah who are in the land of Egypt will meet their end by the sword and by famine until they are completely gone. 28 Those who escape the sword will return out of the land of Egypt to the land of Judah few in number. Then all the remnant of Judah who have gone to the land of Egypt to reside there will know whose word will stand, Mine or theirs. 9 This will be the sign to you, declares the Lord, that I am going to punish you in this lace, so that you may know that My words will surely stand gainst you for harm. 30 Thus says the Lord, Behold, I am going to give over Pharaoh ophra king of Egypt to the hand of his enemies, to the hand of those who seek his ife, just as I gave over Zedekiah king of Judah to the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of abylon, who was his enemy and was seeking his life.
